All Possible Options to File an RTI for University Exams - Explained!

If you are a student then you can apply for RTI for University exams, if you believe that you may have scored more but there maybe some error in the correction process or in cases where there is a discrepancy noticeable in the overall evaluation process.

The institute/ university may already have some provisions allowing students to apply for rechecking of their answer sheets that you can check for. You can also ask for a certified xerox copy of the regulations and procedure of the RTI in your university.

In any case, you are entitled to get a photocopy of your evaluated answer sheet under the RTI for University exams Act. File an appeal (within the time limit) to the ‘First Appellate Authority’ in case the RTI is rejected, citing the important RTI judgement.

Please use the format as prescribed by your University RTI rules, or if not prescribed, use the format given above.

Attach the required documents as needed with your filed RTI for university exams like:

Postal Order Number

Identity Card

Admission Card

Mark sheet

If you do not get a reply within 40 days of mailing this application, or if the reply is not satisfactory, file the first appeal immediately - Why 40 days?

In case of RTI applications the stipulated timeline for the authorities to respond is 30 days. However, in cases where a 3rd party is involved, then the timeline is 40 days.

In case of University RTI it is quite possible that the evaluation process may involve other government/non-government authorities who may have collaborated the examination and evaluation process. And hence 40 days is the timeline.
